In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the toaster 1 has a plate on one of its lateral end faces. It includes a plate 2 molded from plastic material, and the dimensions of this plate are approximately corresponds to the dimensions of the side surface.

This plate 2, made of electrically insulating plastic material, provides mechanical support. and serves as both electrical support.

In the example shown, the plate 2 is formed on its outer side at the same time as the plate. shaped and accommodating metal connections and contact strips such as 7, 8 and additional insulation. a certain number of tongues intended for direct positioning (or without fixation components) These strips 7.8 have shaped parts or protrusions (3, 4, 5, 6>). , controlling the operation of the toaster using a timing device not shown in FIG. used for.

The tongues or protrusions (3, 4, 5, 6) made on the plate 2 are It is shaped so that it can be released from the mold by drawing in a straight direction.

Similarly, these tongues or protrusions 3, 4, 5.6 hold the strip onto the plate 2. By simply moving in the vertical direction (see arrows F1 and F2) It is shaped to accommodate and position 7.8. This movement can be performed by robots or manipulators. This can be done very simply with a purator arm.

Therefore, the IJ knob 7 has a U-shape pressed against the complementary surface of the projection 4. has a folded portion 9, while the end 10 of this strip 7 extends over the protrusion 4. It is supported by the upper tongue 3.

The strip 7 includes two elastic tongues 11 below the U-shaped portion 9, which tongues , Actual S) From the left part of the protrusion by the slot 12 that accommodates the IJ protrusion 7. It is inserted into the straight part of the separated protrusion 5. This strip 7 is also rectangular It also engages an upper slot 13 made in the cup-shaped projection 6.

Strips 7 and 8 are placed opposite each other so that these two strips capable of establishing electrical contact between them when stressed toward each other It has contacts 7a and 8b.

The tongues and protrusions 3.4.5.6 are very sensitive to the strips 7.8 relative to each other. Ensures accurate positioning, thus eliminating the need for additional components such as screws. Excellent reliability is guaranteed while allowing easy molding.

Naturally, plate 2 can be easily molded and positioned even by robots. other protrusions or recesses capable of accommodating other parts or accessories that can be May contain.

In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the toaster is provided on one of the end faces of the toaster. The plate 15 has a central groove 16.

A slider 17 that slides vertically in the vertical direction is fitted into this recess 16. . This slider 17 is attached to a gripping member (not shown) fixed within the opening 17a. Therefore, it can be manipulated.

In FIG. 2, slider 17 is in a low position. This slider 17 is supports a horizontal arm (not shown) that supports the sliced bread to be eaten;

The slider 17 is constructed in the top and bottom surfaces of the slider 17 for its vertical sliding movement. guided by a vertical rod 18 engaged within a cylindrical aperture 19.20. It is. These apertures 19,20 are significantly larger than those of rod 18. The threshold diameter is actually a straight line that corresponds to the diameter of the coil spring fitted onto the rod 18. It has a diameter. This spring 21 extends over almost the entire height of the plate 15. Ru. Its upper end 24 is conical and fits into the upper part of the rod 18, and Its lower end abuts against the periphery of the lower aperture 20 of the slider 17. It has an enlarged diameter 23.

In the position shown in FIG. 2, the slider 17 is in a low position and the spring 21 is It's growing. Slider 17 is constructed using one member not shown in FIG. Locked in position.

When this member is unlocked, the slider 17 is returned upward by the spring 21. , this spring lifts up the sliced bread at the same time.

If the slider 17 moves, the spring 21, in addition to its return function, provides sliding support. Also useful as a mask. Assuming that the stress is applied precisely in the axis of the rod 18, the slider 17 is any torque that tends to cause wear or friction on the bearing surface of the slider. I don't accept it either.

Furthermore, assuming that spring 21 is coaxial with rod 18, the structure of the assembly is It is extremely compact.

FIG. 3 shows the fit of the rod 18, spring 21 and slider 17 assembly. are doing.

First of all, the spring 21 moves the apertures 20 and 1 of the slider 17 in the direction of arrow F3. Fits into 9. This introduction is due to the fact that the upper end 24 of the spring 21 is conical. It is made easier by

The enlarged rear portion 23 of the spring 21 allows the spring to be placed under the aperture 20 of the slider 17. can be stopped at.

Next, simply engage the spring 21 in the predetermined position inside the slider with the rod 18. stomach.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, slider 17 (shown in dotted lines) ) demonstrated a system for controlling movement. First, call out the known principles. Let's wake up. The slider 17 is in the high position after the rest position shown in FIG. It is in. If the user wants to toast sliced bread, the user should move the slider 17 to the low position. put it on. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The spring 21 (see Figure 2) connected to the 1 integrated with the slider 17 in an engaged state with the stopper member 26 integrated with the slider 15. locked by the tip 24 supported by two mechanisms 25 (see also Figure 2). ). The mechanism 25 will be described in detail below.

Here, control the unrotation of slider 17 when the sliced bread is sufficiently toasted. We will explain the device that makes this possible.

This device includes a vertically extending die cast (die cast) which extends vertically and is extended by a U-shaped upper portion 39. IJ block 28 (see especially Figures 7 and 8) provides supplementary rules over almost its entire length. A metal strip 27 is included. The lower end 30 of the strip 27 is , narrowed to localize the curvature of this strip at this level. Ru.

The lower end of the strip 27 is a bimetallic material extending approximately perpendicular to the strip 27. It is integrated with the strip 31.

The end 32 of the bimetallic strip 31 is connected to a shaft integrated with the plate 15. It includes a ledge 33 hinged on 34.

S) The bare conductor 36 in contact with the IJ knob 27 and the insulated conductor 37 An electrical heating resistor 35 electrically connected between the bimetallic strips 31 and It's wrapped around it.

The heating resistor 35 is located between the thin elastic connecting plate 38 and the upper part 39 of the strip 27. is switched on and off by the interaction of

The movement of the thin plate 38 towards the portion 39 is controlled by a fixed stop 40. limited.

In the position shown in Figure 4, the upper part 39 of the strip 27 is a thin plate. The slider 17 is in a high position. The heating resistor 35 has electric power is not supplied.

In the position shown in FIG. 5, the slider 17 is in a low position and the mechanism 25 is A stud 41 made on the end of the arm 42 rests on the strip 27 and The end 39 of the trip is kept in contact with the thin plate 38.

Further, the slider 17 is supported by a connecting rod 38a connected to a thin plate 38. In this way, the electric switch 38b, which securely supplies power to the connecting rod 38a, is closed. It's working.

The heating resistor is thus powered.

This heating resistor 35 then heats the bimetallic strip 31. Vime The tall strip bends, causing the strip 27 (see FIG. 6) to rise.

Here, the member 43 described below is a bimetal strip centered on the shaft 34. It can be seen that the rotation of the top 31 is restricted.

S) While the IJ knob 27 is rising, the part 39 of the IJ knob is covered with a thin elastic plate. 38 and the stud 41 of the arm 42 is made within the strip 27. The power supply to the resistor 35 is maintained until it enters the window 44 (see Fig. 7). (see also).

Because of this engagement, the strip 29 bends elastically towards the arm 42 and Portion 39 of the strip is separated from thin plate 38 and rests on stop 26. Ru. Heating resistor 35 is then switched off.

When the resistor 35 is de-energized, the bimetallic strip 31 is in its rest position. Has a tendency to return. During this movement, the strip 27 is pulled in the direction of arrow F4 . Stud 41 of arm 42 is retained within window 44 of the strip Then, this stud 41 is pulled downward, causing the arm 42 to pivot and stop. Release of the tip 24 from the retaining notch 45 of the pad 26 and return the slider 17 from rising. It is caused through the action of the spring 21.

To reset the toaster to the operating position, the tip 24 of arm 42 must be Hook the hand over the retaining notch 45 of the pad 26 to the position shown in FIG. All you have to do is lower the slider 17. This locking method allows the end of the arm 42 to between the tad 41 and the tip 24 and above the stopper 26 upstream of the retaining notch 47. It is said to include one curved surface 46 that can slide on a constructed ramp 47. It's made easier by the facts.

If this resetting to the working position is carried out immediately after the automatic raising of the slider 17 , the bimetallic strip 31 has not returned to ambient temperature and therefore retains its resting position. Not completely recovered.

In this case, the distance existing between the window 44 and the stud 41 of the arm 42 is Bimetallic) IJ whelk 31 has completely regained its initial position and shape. It is smaller than the case.

Therefore, after switching on the heating resistor of IJ tube 31 (bimetallic), Metals) IJ knob 31 very quickly regained the position shown in Figure 6. In this position, the stud 41 engages with the window 44, Resistor 35 is then switched off and slider 17 rises. In this case, The sliced bread supported by the rider 17 is connected to the radiation of the resistor in the toaster. is not sufficiently exposed to the heat and is therefore undercooked.

To compensate for this drawback, the present invention provides a compensation system as described below. ing.

The word "compensation" refers to the same After the first operation, the appliance automatically adjusts the toaster to achieve the desired degree of doneness. It defines the time that must be done. In fact, if you start from a low temperature , the toasting time is, for example, 160 seconds for medium toasting (mark 3). be. After a 20 second stop (removal of toasted bread and reloading), the toaster will Switched back on.

At this time, the operating time must be 120 seconds to achieve the same degree of baking of the bread. No. Therefore, in this case the compensation is 25%.

This compensation is what structure 1 provides. Cooling of bimetallic strips and therefore The return is due to the cooling of the toaster casing (heating rod, reflector, grill, framework, etc.) It is a reflection of the opposite.

For an ideal thermal system, the temperature rise and cooling curves are repetitive.

These curves are shown in Figure 9, where the ordinate is temperature θ and the abscissa is time. T is taken.

The letters used in this diagram have the following meanings: , OAB: First temperature increase curve (adjustment mark 6) A: Regarding adjustment mark 1, Shutdown of heater 31 (and heating rod) OA′: First heating time for adjustment mark 1 AC: Cooling of heater C Nislider rises (end of cycle) D: Reloading C' D': Required time for removal/reloading OF: Represents heat compensation.

LMN: Temperature rise curve, whose interval DM is used during the Nth on-switch. Ru.

In practice, simple cooling depends on the thickness of the material and its components, the molecular bonding between the components, compensated by the hysteresis phenomenon of bimetallic strips characteristic of and other causes. It is added. This hysteresis increases as the temperature of the bimetallic IJ knob increases. The bigger it gets, the bigger it gets. This is in addition to the compensation time due to the restart temperature.

System 50 is positioned opposite bimetallic strip 31 and is shown It includes one member 51 that is slidably fitted into a horizontal guide surface. Ru. This member 51 extends in the direction of the bimetallic strip 31 of this strip. It includes one slot 52 extending downwardly. This slot 52 has an upper slope. A ramp 53 and a lower ramp 54 are defined.

integral with the end 32 of the bimetallic strip adjacent to the hinged ledge 33 A carved arm 43 is engaged within this slot 52. This arm 43 The ends are the same as when the bimetallic strip 32 is at rest (see Figures 4 and 5). ) supported by the upper ramp 53 or the bimetallic strip is curved. (see Figure 6) one spur-like projection supported by the lower ramp 54. I support the movement.

Therefore, at the beginning of the heating of the resistor 35, the curvature of the bimetallic strip 31 is No upward movement of the strip 27 occurs. It is bimetallic during this time The strip 31 is curved to push the spur-like protrusion 55 of the arm 43 of the upper ramp 53 into the This is because it is moved toward the lower ramp 54 by turning around the shaft 34. Ru. Therefore, the subsequent curvature of the bimetallic strip 31 is above the strip 27. The movement occurs when the spur-like protrusion 55 is supported by the lower ramp 54. That's what happened after that.

Therefore, the distance d between the spur-like protrusion 55 and the upper ramp 53 (see FIG. 6) is The time during which the curvature of the metal strip 31 does not produce any movement of the strip 27 decide.

As a result, when the bimetallic strip 31 is cold, that is, when it is not curved, (see Figures 4 and 5), the time when the slider 17 is in the low position (also the slice pattern) d), the spur 55 moves a distance d. until the stud 41 is engaged within the window 44 for the time required to It is equal to the time required to move the IJ knob 27.

On the other hand, after the first use, the slider 17 is reset to the lower position and the bimetal strip The top 31 is warmly curved and the spur-like protrusion 55 is supported by the lower ramp 54. If the above-mentioned time is reduced.

Keeping in mind the slopes of ramps 53 and 54, the distance d mentioned above is varies as a function of the position of spur 55 in relation. This distance d is This can be adjusted by moving the mark 51 to the right or left, which changes the slice pattern. It has the effect of adjusting the toasting time of the toast.

The lower ramp 54 adjusts the inclination of the bimetallic IJ knob 31 and therefore allows determining the time at which the heater bar and heater 35 are switched on. do. The upper ramp 53, which has a slope smaller than that of the ramp 54, is located on the cooling curve. allows you to change the cycle stopping point of the This affects the compensation by changing the restart temperature.

The upper ramp can be raised as high as the spur-like protrusion 55 is for a short time while adjusting for a long time. It has a slope that does not rise.

In summary, the ramp 54 allows the heating time to be adjusted, whereas the ramp 54 Channel 53 makes it possible to change the cut-off point in the cooling curve.

Another important feature of the invention is the structure of the mechanism 25 associated with the slider 17. It is in the structure.

This is a knuckle joint mechanism. This mechanism consists of a beam parallel to the plate 15. It consists of two connecting rods 56 and 57 that are fastened together (see Figures 4, 5 and 5). (see Figure 8).

The end of the upper connecting rod 56 is hinged to the plate at 58. the opposite end The part is connected to the slider 17 by an articulating part 59 and itself by an articulating part 60. The lower connecting rod 57 is connected to the lower connecting rod 57. As already shown above, this slash The slider 17 can slide vertically, and its movement is guided by a rod 18 (second (see figure).

The intermediate lever 42 extends transversely to the upper connecting rod 56 and has a pin on it. They are connected by a bot 61. Lever 420 rotation is in the direction of connecting rod 56 The end extends and is guided between two projections 64 that are integrated with the lever 56. limited by a spring arm 63 that is transverse to the lever 42 having a section 63a. ing. As previously explained, the end of the intermediate lever 42 has a curved surface 46. at the rear of this surface, in a retaining notch 45 made on the stopper 26. A hook-clamping tip 24, which can be locked into place, is constructed as shown in FIG. Ru.

In the position shown in FIG. 5, the force F exerted by the spring of the slider 17 , moves the slider upward. Connection points 59 of connecting rods 56 and 57 are connected at the end. Since it is beyond the line connecting the contact parts 58 and 60, this force F is the horizontal resultant force. F7 (see Fig. 5), and this force reaches the level of the intermediate lever 42. There is a tendency to press the tooth 45 against the tip 24.

The tip 24 is unlocked from the notch by pulling the end of the lever 42 downward. (See arrow F6 in FIG. 5).

In this way, through the action of F6, the lever 42 has a return force applied by the spring arm 63. It pivots slightly around 61 to counteract the action.

The force required to pivot the lever 42 is approximately 60 g and 100 g. Already This force creates a pull towards the bottom of the strip 27, as explained in produced during cooling of the bimetallic strip 31.

After pivoting of the lever 42, the mechanism 25 assumes the position shown in FIG. Slider 17 in the lower position, move the slider using the handle provided for this purpose. Just use the dollar to pull it downwards. In this way, the end of lever 42 automatically It comes on the opposite side of the stopper 26. By continuing the movement, the end of the lever 42 will be deflected. The curved portion 46 slides on the ramp 47 of the stop, thus preventing the spring arm 63 from rebounding. deformation occurs and at the end of the passage the tip 24 is hooked onto the retaining notch 45. Ru.

Naturally, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but the invention Many changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, The bar 42 can also be pivotably fitted onto the connecting rod 57, or can also be fitted in two It can also be fitted directly onto the common shaft 59 of the connecting rods.

This lever does not require a magnet or electromagnet to hold the shaft 59. It is also possible to replace it with a different device.
